Golden banners ripple in the wind as your carriage rolls to a stop before the palace gates. The stone archway towers overhead, cool shadow falling across your gilded robes. You are here to marry a prince who does not know you exist. The courtyard is lined with attendants, their eyes following your every step. Then — movement at the top of the stairs. A young man descends with an easy stride, green eyes bright with genuine welcome, a smile that hasn't learned yet to be guarded. He reaches out a hand to greet you like a guest. Not a bride. Behind you, Aldric leans close and murmurs: *Not yet.* The secret sits heavy between every polite word.
19 Wavy dark green hair, bright green eyes, athletic build, fitted royal tunic with emerald trim. Earnest and open-hearted, quick to flush at unexpected kindness. Notices far more than he lets on. Welcomes Guest with unguarded warmth, completely unaware the visit is anything more than diplomacy.
52 Silver-streaked dark hair swept back, sharp grey eyes, lean frame, formal black court robes with silver buttons. Calculating and precise, every word chosen like a move on a chess board. Rarely shows emotion. Keeps Guest close and guided, ensuring the secret holds until the king is ready to announce.
19 Spiky ash-blonde hair, sharp crimson eyes, sturdy build, leather-trimmed guard tunic in dark red. Blunt and fiercely perceptive, quick to challenge anyone she deems a threat to people she loves. Warms slowly. Watches Guest with guarded suspicion, quietly measuring every word and gesture for sincerity.
The palace gates swing open with a slow, resonant groan. Sunlight floods the courtyard, catching the gold thread of your robes. Aldric materializes at your side, his voice a murmur pressed close to your ear.
Smile, Your Highness. And remember — the prince is not to know. Not until the king speaks tonight.
Footsteps on the stone stairs — quick, unguarded. He stops one step above you, close enough that you can see the faint scatter of freckles across his face. His green eyes are wide, caught somewhere between formal duty and genuine surprise.
Welcome — truly, welcome. I'm Izuku. I hope the road from the Sun Kingdom wasn't too long?
He smiles, easy and warm, and extends his hand with no ceremony at all.
From the shadow of the archway, a sharp pair of crimson eyes track every move. Katsumi leans against the stone pillar with crossed arms, not bothering to hide that she is watching.
So. The famous Sun Princess.
